CHERRYBROOK BULLDOGS HISTORY

CHERRYBROOK BULLDOGS LEAGUE SEASON 2

When Season 2 started, there were nine players, which made it hard to organise all of the games. By the end of the season, there was only six left. Ben Nemes, Jeff Ogden and our first female player, Fiona Grunbach had all dropped out, mainly because they were not able to attend every weekend. The new members who did stay until the end were Anthony Spencer, Adrian Grunbach and Nick Brill.

From the start, Richard Wilson led after beating Stephen 2-1. In the return match Steve won 1-0, but Richard finished top as Steve threw away some vital points. Richard finished five points ahead of the rest.

Phillip Short had plenty of wins, beating all of the new players. After a 1-1 draw with Stephen, he won 1-0 in the return match and finished in second place on goal difference.

Steve Wilson finished third after some disastrous results. He lost to Richard, Phillip and Anthony, drawing twice with Adrian Grunbach. It was only on goal difference that he finished third.

Anthony Spencer improved rapidly and soon got some wins against the other new players. He beat Nick and Adrian 1-0, then drew 0-0 in the second round matches. His best result must have been the 1-0 win over the Champion, Stephen, after a 1-2 loss in the first round. Anthony had one of the meanest defences in the competition.

Adrian Grunbach drew 1-1 with Stephen twice and goal a 0-0 draw with Phillip. He beat Nick twice and finished in 5th place. Against Richard he lost 1-3 in both games.

Nick Brill finished last, but got a win and two draws. He beat the more experienced Phillip 1-0 and drew 0-0 with Richard. His other draw was a goalless one with Anthony. The new players showed that they would soon become a threat to the leaders. Especially with help from National representatives giving them tips at the Championships.

BULLDOGS LEAGUE CUP SEASON 2

The League Cup took place at the end of the season with two qualifying groups of three. The top three in the league were all drawn together, and for the second time in a row Steve missed out when Richard beat him 2-0. Phillip lost 3-0 to Richard, but beat Steve 2-1 to qualify.

In the other group, the bottom three were against each other. It was so close that each match ended in a draw. Nick Brill finished at the top because he had scored 2 goals. Anthony and Adrian played a qualifier to decide who went on, that ended as a 1-1 draw! After a penalty shoot-out Adrian won 3-2.

In the Semi-Finals, Adrian got another draw, 2-2 with Phillip. This time he lost the shoot-out 2-3. Richard beat Nick 1-0.

The Final was a repeat of the last one and Richard comfortably beat Phillip 5-0, winning the Cup for the second season in a row.

CHERRYBROOK ORAL-B OPEN 1

The Oral-B Open was designed as a chance to get new players involved in the game, giving them experience in a competition against League members and other beginners. Prizes were donated by Mr.Brill from Oral-B and drinks were bought by the Wilson family. The Open was a success and ran smoothly because we had four tables set up, making it quicker to get games played. The main problem was that there were not enough referees, so there were some minor disputes.

The Open was held on the 15th of December 1991 and attracted eight competitors, including Matthew Lee, Jeff Ogden and Fiona Grunbach.

The Competition was divided into two groups of four, from which two players qualified. Those who did not qualify went into a knockout draw for the lower placing's.

Richard finished top in his group to get a Semi-Final match against Stephen, he won 4-1. Adrian Grunbach beat Anthony Spencer 1-0 in the other Semi-Final to play Richard in the Final. In the Third Place Play-Off, Stephen thrashed Anthony 4-1.

Richard won the Final 3-1 to win all three major competitions for the season.
